## Report
- **Title:** HUD Grantees Need to Enhance Monitoring of ESG CARES Act Subrecipients
- **Submitting OIG:** Department of Housing and Urban Development OIG
- **Component agency:** Department of Housing and Urban Development

## Summary

We audited HUD and its grantees’ monitoring of subrecipients and contractors in HUD’s Emergency Solutions Grants Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (ESG-CV) program to assess subrecipient monitoring in the program. ESG and ESG-CV grantees often rely on subrecipients and contractors to carry out ESG-CV-funded activities on behalf of the grantees, and are required to monitor subrecipients to ensure that the purpose of the grant funds awarded is achieved and funds are spent on only eligible applicants and activities.


## Recommendations

- **Rec 2024-LA-0001-001-A** (Open): Take corrective action for the subrecipient monitoring and agreement issues cited for eight of the ESG-CV grantees reviewed, and provide additional guidance and technical assistance as needed to ensure that they understand requirements.
- **Rec 2024-LA-0001-001-B** (Open): Develop and implement additional subrecipient monitoring training and guidance for all ESG grantees.
